141 children accepted into Ethiopian orphanage, school

BENISHANGUL-GUMUZ, Ethiopia (W.) Oct. 4, 2006 -- One hundred and forty one children have been accepted into the new Kamashi Orphanage, a life-saving program according to Blessing the Children International, a ministry based in Kawkawlin, Mich.

Blessing the Children founder and president Keith Strawn said the children accepted into the orphanage are some of the poorest orphans in the region.

Children come into the orphanage; malnourished, underweight, and often naked having never been to school, he said.
